Hey my nephew is moving to Chicago right after college and asking me about neighborhoods. I lived in Lincoln park when I was a college grad and just loved it. Is that still the spot?

Broadly speaking, the spots are still the same.

Post college: Lincoln Park, Lakeview (and Wrigleyville), River North, Wicker Park are still the spots to be if you've got a good income.

West Loop is a newer entrant in the trendy neighborhoods, but doesnt have the older housing stock that allows for some cheaper starting out options. And the Wicker Park vibe has expanded into Bucktown, and parts of Humboldt Park and Logan Square if hes more into the alternative scene.

Will he need roommates? Probably not. Will he want roommates to get the best spot? Probably, at least while establishing himself.

Spot for what? Sure it’s a great spot but you also need to consider interests and commute

I have a question, I got a contract role through a recruiter. Initially the recruiter offered the hourly pay rate which was the minimum in my range. Now I got an offer from the company. Now without me asking her she increased the hourly wage to the maximum range I asked. Which makes me doubt if the company increased it or she knew the rate all along but gave me the lower rate ?

Found a random engagement ring.

Hi all, so I found a platinum ring (which I assumed it's an engagement ring as it has dates and initials engraved on top.) And a Divvy tag (I have no idea what it was until I googled it. Apparently it's a bike sharing service in Chicago) in a briefcase I ordered online. I was thinking of returning the item back to the store but that wouldn't help the person who lost the ring. Attached is a picture of them.

What should I do now?
